Jazz, brass, composition, and other things music related.

I’m very excited to announce the following, from David Pressley, the president of the Board of Directors for the Smoky Mountain Brass Band.

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that David Wilken has accepted our offer to become the Director of the Smoky Mountain Brass Band. Dave will begin with the November 6th rehearsal.

The SMBB has been performing since 1981 and played all over western North Carolina (and elsewhere). I’ve sat in with the group from time to time already, performed with many of the members in other groups, and have been attending performances for a while now. It’s quite a treat to get the chance to conduct them now and I’m looking forward to starting up this November.

Thanks to the Board of Directors and the rest of the Smoky Mountain Brass Band!
